Lagman in a kazan over the fire

Ingredients

• pork – 1.5 kg
• noodles – 600 g
• carrot – 4 pcs
• onion – 2 pcs
• tomatoes – 4 pcs
• pepper – 4 pcs
• hot pepper – 3 pcs
• potatoes – 1 kg
• garlic – 6 – 8 cloves
• water – 3 l
• sunflower oil – 1 glass (250 ml)
• ground black pepper – 0.5 tsp
• salt – about 1 tbsp (to taste)
• parsley – 1 bunch
• cumin – 1 tsp
• oregano – 0.5 tsp

Method

1. Step 1

   First, let's prepare all the components. We cut the meat into fairly large pieces - about the size of a matchbox, cut the carrots into strips, onions into half rings, potatoes into cubes, pepper into strips, tomatoes into cubes, chop the herbs and garlic.

   
2. Step 2

   Let's make a fire. While all the ingredients are fried, the heat should be high. Place a cauldron and pour oil into it. It should warm up well. Place the meat in well-heated oil and fry until golden brown. We are not in a hurry to interfere - wait until it browns on one side.

   
3. Step 3

   Add the onion to the golden meat and stir until the onion becomes transparent. When the onion is ready, add the pepper and cook until done.

   
4. Step 4

   Carrots follow the pepper. Fry it with the rest of the ingredients.

   
5. Step 5

   When the carrots become soft, add the tomatoes. Don't forget to stir constantly so that the dish doesn't burn. And we follow the fire.

   
6. Step 6

   When the tomatoes are cooked, add water to the cauldron, cover it with a lid and leave to simmer over low heat for about 40 minutes until the meat is cooked. When the water boils, add the spices. I use salt, ground black pepper, cumin and a pinch of oregano. When the meat is ready, throw in the potatoes and cook until done - this is about 20 minutes after boiling.

   
7. Step 7

   While the potatoes are cooking, boil the noodles. You can make it at home, but I used special noodles for lagman.

   
8. Step 8

   There are 2 options for serving this dish: as a soup and as noodles with gravy. In the first case, you need to add the boiled noodles to the cauldron with the rest of the ingredients after the potatoes are ready and bring to a boil. Remove the finished dish from the heat and add finely chopped parsley and chopped garlic.

   
9. Step 9

   In the second case, after the potatoes are ready, remove the cauldron from the heat, add herbs and garlic to the dish, stir and let it brew for 5-10 minutes. We put the finished noodles on everyone’s plate and place the meat and vegetables on top. As you can see, there is nothing complicated in preparing lagman. The main thing is desire and good company! And also a proven recipe for a real hearty and aromatic lagman.
